I need some new bandsaw blades. I own a Shopsmith bandsaw. I have used Shopsmith and Timber wolf brand blades. Nothing against them, just like to try something else.

What do you use and like?

I like Lenox and Starrett stock. I think the Shopsmith has 11" wheels? If so stick with blades like the Lenox carbon flexback and a thin hardened spring steel blade (for resawing) like the Kerfmaster. I suggest Spectrum Supply (net front for Gray Industrial) from just up the road in Cleveland from you, which carries Lenox stock.

Call Woodcraftbands.com and he will steer you right. Bands and scroll saw blades are his living.

Prices look good, Thanks!

Whats the deal with Sears bandsaw blades? He compares his blades to Sears. Is there something special about Sears blades?
